What I Bought Today

Despite feeling lackluster this past holiday season, my consumer spirit
returned with a vengeance today. I didn't even plan to go shopping today,
honest! I was on the way to the library when my sister called, asking for
help picking out a winter jacket. So I met her at the local mall and within
5min helped her find the jacket that she ultimately bought. Afterwards, I
took advantage of some post–holiday sales.
From Aeropostale:
– cute grey fleece bathrobe with funny monkey faces all over as a gift.
From Old Navy:
– light grey, long–sleeve, thick gauge, very low cowl neck sweater. Looks
great on, but sheds like crazy.
– wanted a long cream double–zip cardigan, but passed because it'll probably
be further discounted in a couple of weeks.
From Banana Republic:
– black–on–black pinstripe pants.
– black faux tux pants.
– silk/cashmere fine gauge sweater hoodies with kangaroo pocket in cream and
light heathered grey. I wanted the black one, but it had a snag.
– gauzy sheer pintucked–at–waist black skirt with nude underskirt. I'm
going to return this because –– in my rush –– I didn't realize that the
hemline hit the max curve in my calf (not flattering).
– chinos for DH in light grey and dark tan.
– various merino wool sweaters for DH and brother.
From Club Monaco:
– knee–length dark blue velvet pencil skirt with matching satin detailing at
the waist with back slit.
– knee–length heathered tan pencil skirt with interesting back slit.
